This Mother’s Day, join JGI in honoring Tchimpounga’s resident “surrogate chimp mom,” La Vieille!As one of Tchimpounga’s oldest residents, La Vieille has a very special role to play at the sanctuary. She spends her time helping Tchimpounga’s new arrivals learn how to socialize with other chimps and gain independence from their human caregivers. Though the young chimps sometimes like to pester her, La Vieille remains a dedicated, protective guardian.Click here to donate to the Jane Goodall Institute.
